Abstract

The study aims at assessing primary school teacher's challenges in the implementation of curriculum in Bauchi State. Determining the mode in percentage frequency in the use of field trips/education visits within the local environment in the process of instruction, and mode in percentage frequency of difficulty class teachers face in implementing the primary school curriculum were among the objectives of the study. Survey descriptive research design was used for the study. Multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 500 primary school teachers. Teachers Challenges in Implementing Primary School Curriculum Questionnaire (TCIPSCQ) was constructed and used for the data collection. A reliability coefficient of 0.81 was obtained as the stability of the items. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics ( Charts, frequency count and percentages) in addition extracts from the written statements of the respondents were used. The mode in percentage frequency of the use of field trips/educational visits by the primary school teachers in the process of instruction is 56%; the mode in percentage frequency of school difficulty faced by teachers in implementing the curriculum is 39% i.e., 165 of the teachers endorsed that most of the content of the curriculum is not relevant to the textbooks in use, were among the findings of the study. Recommendations made from the study include the Bauchi State Universal Basic Education Board sponsor and encourage teachers to organize field trips/educational visits; and the urgent need for a review of the curriculum to address teachers' difficulties in curriculum implementation.
